Geomerinus is a monotypic genus of centipedes in the family Geophilidae. It was described by French myriapodologist Henry Wilfred Brolemann in 1912.[1] Its sole species is Geomerinus curtipes, originally described as Geophilus curtipes by Erich Haase in 1887.[2] It is endemic to Australia.[1][3]

Description

This species features an elongate head and elongate forcipules, very small claws on the second maxillae, and no sternal pores; the ultimate leg-bearing segment has a narrow metasternite, scattered coxal pores, and legs with a single tarsal article.[4] The original description of this species by Haase is based on a female specimen measuring 45 mm in length with 71 pairs of legs.[2] The description by Brolemann is based on a larger female specimen measuring 67 mm in length, also with 71 leg pairs.[1]

Distribution

The species occurs in north-eastern coastal Queensland and south-eastern coastal New South Wales.[5]

Behaviour

The centipedes are solitary terrestrial predators that inhabit plant litter, soil and rotting wood.[5]
